How did you get the idea of Qurami?The
idea of Qurami first raised while I was studying. It actually happened during a
queue at the University administrative office. Looking at my iPhone I just
thought: “there must be an app to avoid the line with a smartphone, without
losing my time here”. Well, there wasn’t. And I invented it.

4)
How much money did you need for launching Qurami? Was it hard to be
financed?

I
immediately involved other people to help developing my idea from a technical
and commercial point of view. Initially I just used my personal money to start
the project. Then we joined the Incubator Luiss-Enlabs and, thanks to the
growing network of contacts and the first happy clients, we received some
financing. To convince the investors we tried to go beyond our good idea: we
created a great team of experts in multiple fields, developed a credible
business plan and improved the technical quality of the app.

5)
How many people work for Qurami and what kind of contract do they
have?

Currently
there are 14 people working for the Qurami project. Contracts range from
fixed-term to open-end contracts, plus some consulting services.

6)
The headquarter of Qurami is near the mani station of Rome (Termini), why did
you choose that place? Wasn't it better to be outside the centre?

Our
offices are located in the Luiss-Enlabs incubator, inside Termini railway
station in Rome. The location is great, there are a lot of other innovative
companies and a continuous series of events on entrepreneurship and technology.
We really feel to work in the hearth of a vibrant business
environment.

7)
What is the business model of Qurami? What's the percentage you get from Apple
and other companies?

Our
business model is very simple. Qurami is free to download for the users while
clients pay an annual fee to use the app. The cost varies with the number of
premises.

8)
If an italian wanted to create a start up about an application, would you
suggest him/her to stay in Italy or to move to Silicon Valley (assuming he/she
has the chance to move)?

We
have created our company in Italy and from here we are expanding to several
markets. It’s possible to do good business in our country, but it’s vital to
always have an open approach and think globally.
